I am studying these enterprises as an attempt to understand how theoretically, these enterprises, conceptualised as occuring in developing society, differ from those occuring in western/developed ones. First, I want to contribute to the growing immigrant entrepreneural literature, and also interrogate it. On the flip side of it, the study is also a contribution to south-south migration which is often difficult to find in the migration literature.
One key objective is to examine Nigerian migrants' propensity to self employment, but also I want to explore how their activities serve as continuity, or discontinuity/break to those pursued by thei forebearers in Accra. Of course issues about operational strategies and profiling will also be explored.
I will be interested in suggestions that point to appropriate methodological strategies including sampling, data collection instruments and analyses.
Your objectives; 1) to examine Nigerian migrants' propensity to self employment, 2) to explore how their activities serve as continuity, or discontinuity/break to those pursued by thei forebearers in Accra. 3) issues about operational strategies and profiling will also be explored.
Objective 1 can be met through a phenomelogical approach-hear it from them. objective 2 may require a comparative approach which can also be addressed using a qualitative approach. The third objective i believe can also be achieved using the same approaches.
